Against the Grain: The Courage to Heal in a World That Pulls Us Apart

Friday June 12, 2026 8:00am - 9:30am EDT

Limited Capacity full
Adding this to your schedule will put you on the waitlist.

In a culture shaped by speed, comparison, performance, and constant noise, it can feel almost natural to abandon ourselves in the name of fitting in or keeping up. But meaningful healing and genuine presence often asks us to
move in the opposite direction. It asks us to slow down, listen inward, and reclaim what the world teaches us to ignore.

In this 90-minute session, we’ll explore what it means to heal “against the grain,” especially when external pressures or internal habits push us toward disconnecting, perfecting, or overriding our own truth. Through grounded discourse and thoughtful reflection, we’ll look at the subtle patterns that masquerade as strength or goodness, and how yoga philosophy helps us discern what truly supports growth, clarity, and connection.

You’ll be guided through an all-levels yoga practice using asana, pranayama, and meditation to help you sense what alignment feels like in your body—moment by moment, breath by breath. Together, we’ll explore how embodiment becomes a compass for living with integrity, compassion, and courage, even when the world pulls us in a different direction.

This session is an invitation to return to yourself, trust your own inner knowing, and walk a path of healing that is honest, grounded, and deeply your own.

Tight hips. Low back tension. A body that won’t quite let go.

Expect:
• Smart, psoas-centric sequencing you won’t find in typical classes
• Somatic movements that release deep-held tension
• Breath practices that downshift the nervous system
• Strength, stability, and surprising spaciousness in your hips and low back
This class is accessible yet powerful, grounding yet energizing — perfect for practitioners and teachers alike.
Come curious.
Leave lighter, taller, and more at ease in your body.

JJ's Lodge

Limited Capacity full
Adding this to your schedule will put you on the waitlist.

This class explores the intimate relationship between the psyche, the nervous system, and the body through the lens of the chakra system, held within a trauma-informed, psychological, and spiritual framework. The work of understanding how our beliefs, emotions, and survival patterns live in the body has been central to my own healing and remains the foundation of my teaching.
Transformational inner work invites us to turn toward the aspects of ourselves we’ve learned to avoid, suppress, or judge. Rather than bypassing discomfort, we learn how to meet it with awareness and skill, allowing insight and compassion to replace reactivity and self-betrayal. When internal narratives are brought into consciousness and worked with somatically, the body can release long-held tension, and the mind can reorganize around greater clarity and choice.
During our time together, we will explore shadow work, trauma and the brain, nervous system regulation, and the chakra system as a map for understanding both psychological patterns and energetic flow. Asana, pranayama, and meditation will be used intentionally to support specific energy centers, helping to restore the connection between body, breath, and inner intelligence.

Living Symbols and Inner Practices: Bhūta Śuddhi and Cakra Sādhana – Anāhata Cakra

Friday June 12, 2026 10:00am - 11:30am EDT

Crane West

Limited Capacity seats available

We all have the recurring experience of frustration and suffering - from different causes, and at different levels of intensity - throughout our daily lives. In response to this recurring experience, we seek to release suffering and find fulfillment outwardly and, as a result, become entangled in what the Ancients called the ‘world of name and form’. This misguided seeking perpetuates the recurrence of unresolved issues, frustrations, tension, and suffering that we all experience throughout our lives.

Deep methods of Inner Practice evolved in the tradition of Tantric Laya Yoga through which we can break this recurring cycle, realize our true nature, actualize our innate potentials and, ultimately, become free. These methods of practice relied on complex symbol systems.

In this series of three classes, we will explore two of the most important symbol systems, the methods of practice evolved to work with them and, finally, how to integrate these symbols and methods into our personal practice.

In this first 90-minute session of the series, we will
- Explore the cakra symbol system as a “microcosmic” map that reveals both our dysfunctional patterns and our innate untapped potentials.
- Introduce the methods of Bhūta Śuddhi and Cakra Sādhana
- Work with these methods in a practice focused on the Anāhata Cakra

The popularity of vinyasa-based yoga practice has created a wide interest in the theory and practice of Mula, Uddiyana and Jalandhara Bandha – the “yogic locks.” In this workshop, Leslie applies his unique, experiential approach to clarify and, above all, simplify the practical, anatomical basis of these powerful, yet widely misunderstood tools.

The good news is the moment you first learned to coordinate breath and body movement, you were intuitively, implicitly learning bandha. From this perspective, deepening your yoga consists of nothing more than uncovering our innate ability to find support and spaciousness through breath-centered practice.

Jiminy Peak Pavilion

Limited Capacity seats available

In these challenging and uncertain times, many of us are carrying unexpressed emotion and stress in our bodies and voices. This trauma-informed workshop invites participants into gentle vocal and movement practices that support nervous-system regulation, emotional release, and authentic expression.

Through breath, sound, call-and-response, intuitive vocalization, and accessible movement, participants explore voice and vibration as pathways to connection, grounding, and collective care. No singing or movement experience is required — all voices and bodies are welcome.
Music as Medicine

Live music and sound are woven throughout the experience, offering support rather than spectacle. Jeff W. Jones’ multi-instrumental music, rhythm, and sonic textures create a grounding and responsive foundation for movement and somatic awareness. Morley’s soulful voice and layered soundscapes, together with Stan Strickland aka Rajahn’s masterful wind instruments and vocalizations, deepen the sound field — supporting nervous-system regulation, subtle body awareness, and collective presence. Together, music and movement form a living dialogue that gently awakens energetic flow and the vibration of love and healing — always in service of embodiment, choice, and care.

Most building foundations are rock solid and designed not to move. Our human foundation is different. If our toes, feet, and ankles don’t move properly, our foundation is compromised. Problems can “trickle up" and affect knees and hips. It’s challenging to have good balance and a healthy gate if part of the foundation is rigid. Come to this workshop to mobilize all the working parts from the knees down. We’ll address the vital role of the big toe and how to keep it healthy. We’ll even have some fun with gate analysis so we can put it all together for a healthy, happy stride.

Friday June 12, 2026 4:30pm - 5:30pm EDT

Jiminy Peak Pavilion

Limited Capacity seats available

Activation of the lunar force invokes the power of steadiness, immovable resolve, and the qualities of self-knowing. In this practice we’ll activate the lunar force and invoke its nurturing and sublime qualities through a powerful, yet deeply soothing asana, pranayama, and meditation sequence for body and mind. Through experience and some theory, you'll cultivate the forces that lead to calm in the midst of turbulence and that awaken peace, intuition, and courage
